Management of Venousthromboembolism (501)
Steven Deitezweig, MD
Experience a comprehensive review of venousthromboembilic disease that will help keep you current on important developments. The speaker will cover the most up-to-date information surrounding epidemiology, prophylaxis, diagnosis, testing, and treatment modalities.
Managing Substance Abuse Among Rehabilitation Patients (502)
Charles Bombardier, PhD
Substance abuse is the most common psychosocial issue among people requiring rehabilitation due to trauma. Nurses must be empowered to dispel myths and maximize their influence with addicted clients. Assess the rehabilitation nurses role in identification, intervention, and education related to addiction and strategies for influencing patient motivation to change addictive behaviors.
The Essentials of Spinal Cord Injury (503)
Anaise “Sis” Teuerkauf, MEd RN CCM CRRN
In a time of decreased length of stays and decreased resources, the rehabilitation professional can no longer treat the spinal cord population in terms of the goals of the past. This session will identify five essential skills that can be taught in the early rehabilitation phase – as it may be the only rehabilitation the patient gets. Learn the “here and now” skills necessary for successful outcomes in acute rehabilitation, long-term care and alternate rehabilitation settings; as well as a review of appropriate adaptive equipment.
Building an Evidence Base for Individualized Restraint-free Care (504)
Lois Evans, DNS RN FAAN
Based on evidence from prospective studies, this session exposes the inconsistencies in use of physical restraint in environments that espouse return to independent functioning, and will describe a paradigm that focuses on understanding patient behavior as communication of needs. Individualized interventions for responding to patient needs and for changing system practice patters from “control-based” to individualized “need-based” care will be presented.

A View of Brain Injury from the Inside Looking Out
Claudia L. Osborn, DO FACOI
Speaking in the context of her own TBI and her subsequent successful rehabilitation at the Brain Injury Program, Rusk Medical Center, NYU, Dr. Osborn provides a doctor-as-patient view of living with a brain injury, including coping with behavioral problems, memory impairment, and the loss of executive function. She discusses the elements in a successful rehabilitation with a particular emphasis on the relationship between patient and nurse and the pivotal role the latter has in a TBI patient's recovery.
